Celtics Announcer Has Epic Reaction to Jaylen Brown’s Massive Poster Dunk.
Jaylen Brown dunked all over Chicago Bulls’ center Jalen Smith Friday night. On top of the Jaylen on Jalen crime was the epic call it brought from Celtics’ play-by-play commentator Drew Carter.
Brown detonated on Smith as the Celtics led by just one point in the fourth quarter of an NBA Cup group play game, which brought Carter and his NBC Sports Boston broadcast partner, color analyst and former Celtic Brian Scalabrine, out of their seats.
“Sets the screen for JB,” Carter said on the broadcast as Brown bursted toward the rim. Then, Carter had to scream before he could even finish his sentence. “Oh my goodness! The grave digger has arrived in Chicago.”
Brown said last month that he had a few nicknames that were starting to catch on but he was starting to like the “grave digger” moniker for himself. Carter made sure to do his part in getting the name to stick.
Carter is a young star in his own right, having fun and bringing memorable moments to Celtics’ broadcast alongside Scalabrine.
Boston held on to beat Chicago 138–129 Friday. The Celtics are 16–3 in the regular season and advanced to 3–1 to finish NBA Cup group play. The Atlanta Hawks won East Group C thanks to a head-to-head tiebreaker they hold over the Celtics. Boston still has an opportunity to advance to the NBA Cup’s knockout stage as the Eastern Conference’s wild card team, but they will need some help from other teams to win the point differential tiebreaker.
A report came out on Wednesday stating that North Carolina was eyeing Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith to replace Mack Brown, who it fired on Tuesday after six years as the program’s head football coach.
Smith addressed this report on Thursday, and it sounds like UNC did reach out to the alum. However, Smith insists he has no interest in taking the head-coaching job in Chapel Hill.
“The reality is, they reached out on a preliminary call. I love that place, but that’s not my focus,” Smith told the media Thursday. “I mean, I’ve got one of the best jobs in football right now. There’s a lot to be said to you can’t put a price on personal and professional happiness, which I have here. I love that place. I appreciate it.”
Smith doubled down and expressed how much he loves working for the Steelers. So much in fact that he acknowledged how just a few years ago he would’ve snatched this job opportunity up.
“It’s nice when someone reaches out, sure, but again, I’ve got an awesome job here,” Smith said. “I love it here in Pittsburgh.
